Seseko is proud to announce the upcoming Digital Skills Summit, taking place 27–28 August 2026, bringing together learners, educators, industry leaders, and innovators to shape the future of digital education and employment in South Africa.
Under the theme Bridging Education, Technology & Future Careers, the summit will directly engage 1,500 students, 200+ educators, 75 schools, and 15 districts across Gauteng, creating one of the region’s most impactful platforms for youth digital empowerment.
Why this summit matters now
South Africa is at a critical turning point:
- Youth unemployment remains above 45%, with many young people lacking access to relevant digital skills
- Over 60% of jobs in the future will require digital literacy or technical skills
- The demand for skills in coding, AI, data, and digital entrepreneurship continues to outpace supply.
At the same time, access to hands-on exposure, mentorship, and real-world career pathways remains limited, especially in underserved communities. The Seseko Digital Skills Summit is designed to close this gap.
A platform for real impact
This is not just another conference. The summit delivers practical, hands-on experiences that prepare students for the modern workforce:
- Interactive digital workshops in coding, technology, and innovation.
- Career guidance and mentorship from industry professionals.
- Exposure to emerging technologies shaping the future of work.
- Panel discussions and thought leadership from leading voices.
- Direct engagement between students and employers.
By connecting education with industry, Seseko is helping to build a pipeline of future-ready talent.
